Volunteer Opportunities

Much of the success of the Carnegie Art Museum is due to the generous support of  volunteers. We encourage you to share your valuable time and skills with us through a variety of rewarding opportunities. You will meet new people, develop new skills, and support the arts.  For many of our volunteer positions, you will work individually with members of a small but dedicated staff.  We hope that you enjoy exploring some of the different ways that you can give back to the Arts and the Community by helping the CAM share the wonders of art.

Special Events Outreach
Outreach is important to the Museum; our programs depend on getting the word out to the public.  We are looking for two outgoing responsible and dependable volunteers (ages 21 and up) who perhaps cannot commit a weekly basis, but would still like to make a difference in the community.  The volunteers will help a staff member set-up and clean-up the table display, interact with the public, and hand-out promotional materials.  This position requires weekend availability, some standing and being outdoors or in doors depending on the event.
